A Season in Hell

By Jack Higgins and Eileen. Korda, Michael; Higgins, Jack; Rooney, Andrew A. & Goudge

Book Overview

An electrifying novel of blood, vengeance, and international intrigue from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.

As a high-powered Wall Street lawyer, Sarah Talbot believed her world was comfortable and secure--until her beloved stepson was found dead of a drug overdose in Paris. Her initial grief is compounded when she learns that his body was used to transport heroin by an unstoppable European cartel.

Trained by British SAS, Irish-born Sean Egan has no problem killing whenever and wherever someone has to die. Dealing with death is second nature to him. So when his sister's drug-poisoned corpse is found floating in the Thames, he knows it's not an accident--it's murder.

Bonded by their shared loss, Egan and Talbot come together, vow to find those responsible, and make them pay. Pursuing an enemy known only as "Mr. Smith" and hunted by a master assassin, they cannot imagine the truth they will uncover--and the dangers they will face. All they know is that they cannot stop until they have their revenge--no matter the cost.

For over fifty years, Jack Higgins, author of The Midnight Bell, Rain on the Dead, and other bestsellers, has thrilled millions around the world with his lighting-paced novels of international action, suspense, and spy craft. Filled with engaging heroes, implacable villains, and action that draws readers in like a classic honey trap, Higgins's novels remain the high-water mark of thriller excellence.

One espetacular masterpiece

It's one of the bests books I ever read. When you start you can't stop, I recommend for everybody who likes Jack Higgins books.

a good read

One of Jack Higgins' best. It is a good story with good characters (Sarah, Sean and even Jago). It keeps you interested right until the surprises at the end. All in all it's a good read. enjoy!

Totally suspensful and EXCITING!!!!

I totally loved the book...and it was so well written. I could have never guessed who Mr. Smith was...but then again, I guess that was the point of the book. But everything just moved so fast that by the time I finished the book, my head was spinning. There were no breaks and everything can just zip right through you without you knowing it...you could even get killed without knowing it. That was how great the book was and I totally enjoyed it. And I especially loved Jago. He was such a sweet guy even though he fell with the wrong crowd...he has a good sense of humor...and totally stood up for that Talbot woman. Yup...it was a good book and in the future I will be looking forward to reading more of Jack Higgins books!

Suspenseful and Fantastic!

A Season In Hell is about drugs in Europe and what people do to get them. It is also about a woman's struggle to find out how her stepson was murdered. The two main characters, Sarah and Sean are very, very intense. The story takes place all throughout Europe. The book ends very well and is unexpected. I loved this book! It was amazing. I love the way Jack Higgins wrote this book. The book is non-stop suspense. I would recommend it very, very highly.

Action and humour, Jack Higgins when he is on top

Action from page one to the last one. A story that could be true. Drugs and the way some people do anuything to get to the big money. But Jack Higgins also has a great homour that makes his storyes ver y good reading...Warning!! Ones you start reading this book...be sure you have the time becouse you wont like to stop reading it
